I'm generally pretty good with metaphors and analogies, but you may have to relate some actual examples to get specific sales advice and input on this.

To use the metaphor you've provided, however . . . if the recipe says preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 18 minutes, there's probably a reason. You can't put the dough in cold furnace, fire it up to 5,000 degrees, and have the same result in 42 seconds. Although this may not be a mistake you are making, one of the most common sales-related problems I see among new business owners is impatience. (The problem often goes back to not having a realistic sales or marketing plan to start with -- so they begin losing money from Day 1, get even more impatient because of they're in trouble, and then sales get worse or dry up altogether because of that.)

Hello,

I am more than happy to talk to you about what you are selling and how you are selling it as well. I would need to know who your target market is, product, pricing and sales flow. Feel free to email me at heller21@hotmail.com
